I reckon my next DAB will be a Roberts Robi. I never understood the fear of iPod from radio people, they are two different things. iPod has sold 110 million worldwide.

And people like to talk about the break outs. It would also be interesting to compare the DAB numbers to the US HD radio numbers. DAB has a lot cleaner marketing story – it’s a clean break from AM/FM with a strong technology roadmap. What’s a pity is that while Canada spent a lot researching DAB – and continues to have programs looking at enhancing mobility and multimedia – the industry looks to be going HD.

Whether it's good for DAB or bad for the iPod is where the question now lies. Yikes - proof that stats can throw up surprises.

I can only assume that because there is no single supplier/single product DAB radio that it doesn't share the same kind of awareness? That is a surprisingly impressive statistic.
